Akai MPK mini keyboard/drum pad controller unveiled

Akai's MPK mini, which has just been launched at the BPM DJ/music production show in Birmingham, combines the company's LPK25 mini keyboard and LPD8 drum pad controller into a single unit.

This is good news for anyone who's been thinking of buying both products, particularly as it's predicted that the MPK mini will retail for around £70. This is significantly less than the cost of purchasing an LPK25 and LPD8 separately.
